Heck no, but I would love to see a group's face when you pulled out your gear and put the milk jug on the flash! :lol: You would need a second photog just to photograph their expressions! LOL!

I think your milk jug shot at 90 degrees look the softest. Very similar to what you might get with the LightSphere II. It might be fine for shots around the house, but I'd really like to see the faces of your clients when you show up to a job with a milk jug on top of your camera. :lol:

it gets more interesting when you paint a jackolantern on the front.

It would be even better if you left milk in the jug, poured it into a glass to drink (offering your clients some as well of course) and then using the jug while you drink your milk and shoot the session.

:D

Nice job on the samples. A color chart included with the jumping dualphins would be nice. :D

Hi - I don't suppose you could post a pic of the jug on the flash? I'm thinking of making my own LSII - primarily because shipping to the UK for the LSII doubles its price.

Hehe, thanks for that! It just so happens we finished a 4 pint carton tonight - think I'll be taking some scissors to it :) Actually, I'm thinking of making a construction from milk carton, and the plastic sleeves you get for holding loose sheets of paper in a A4 ring binder.

Ok - I made up a jugsphere this morning, and took some shots.

Camera in AV mode, with flash in full auto (I think they were all ISO 200, f/2.8, 1/200s)

First shot - the jugpshere itself, attached.
Second shot, taken with jugsphere attached, bounce off ceiling, and use MZ3 secondary reflector, with the shade on.

Ok - here, the first shot is with the jugsphere, and no secondary reflector.

The second shot is bounced off the ceiling
